Sean, my third grandson, was born early this morning. Specs are 8 (-0/+0.125) lbs and 21 (+/- 0.5) inches.

Mother and son are doing just fine.

And, just to keep this sort of related to metalworking, does anyone have a source for terrycloth micrometers?

Congratulations to the daughter and son in law Marv.

Being a coffeetotaller (almost), I will imagine having a celebration drink with you.

many many congratulations!!!
btw, what's the meaning of "son in law" ? I read it many times but can't really figure out its meaning (my english is not so good, sorry) !

 

[mklotz]

son-in-law = husband of your daughter (often acronymized to SIL)
daughter-in-law = wife of your son (DIL)
brother-in-law = husband of your sister (BIL)
sister-in-law = wife of your brother (SIL)
father-in-law = father of your spouse (FIL)
mother-in-law = mother of your spouse (MIL)

I might add that many men believe that the Welsh flag contains a picture of their MIL.

In French, son-in-law is "gendre" (perhaps Italian is similar)

daugher-in-law is "belle-fille".

Congrats, Marv, and please pass my best wishes on to the lucky parents. I shall put a bit extra Jameson's in my coffee in celebration.

So ... how soon until he's an active member of the forum with machine time under his belt?

Best regards,

Kludge

Congratulations Marv. My best to you and the lucky parents. Just doing a rough calculation in my head..... keep in mind that in about 16 years I will have a well cared for 9x20 lathe for sale with some tooling included. :big: Perfect 16th birthday present for the lad!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I've passed them along to my daughter and her husband who were delighted and a bit amazed to hear that folks in the far flung corners of the world already knew of their good fortune and approved.

Photos of newly completed projects are de rigueur around here so I've bowed to tradition and attached one of my daughter's most recent.
